I put mine up and sold them for $120 (I'm in the upper level, double attack zone). Didn't make a killing, but I didn't expect to either. If most people are like me, I'm thinking this team is a Cup contender and will go deeper into the playoffs and therefore that is where I want to spend my money.

I'm pumped for the playoffs, but the earlier rounds don't excite me as much as it did in 2007 after a 6 year absense from the playoffs.

I made sure to plan to go to one of the first round games this year given the last few years.

If they had to offer $20 tickets to a playoff game, the sellout streak is a farce. The block of 45 tickets in section 120 also went at the blink of am eye. No one was paying those prices when TicketExchange had better seats available for $60 plus LESS per ticket.

It also makes me laugh. This is the first game of the playoffs. We go on the powerplay with a minute left in the period, and half the arena bolts for the concession lines and bathrooms.

Yeah, that had me baffled too. F getting a drink, I was there to watch the game, and there is plenty of time for the bathroom on the drive home at the Sheetz in Murraysville and when you hold it that long it sure does take a lot of time....

The announced attendance last night was about 30-50 below the typical regular season crowds. Standing room tickets are reserved and sold in advance, so I assume they were all sold. Therefore, it appears that they fell short of selling all of the 200 or so "seats" that were unsold prior to the game and designated for Student Rush. So, while the attendance far exceeded "seating" capacity and it goes in the books as a sellout, there were probably unsold "seats".

It's interesting to note that madder-about-hockey-than-Pittsburgh Vancouver had the same problem, with about 200 unsold seats on the day of the game.

No, tickets were not $20. They were $30 plus ticketmaster fees and ended up being around $40.

No, they didn't specifically reserve 200 tickets. They had a bunch of tickets on the 100 hundred level available that nobody from the general public bought because they were a bazillion dollars so they went to students.
